SHENZHEN – Foxconn halted operations here today, as China locks down major cities during another Covid-19 outbreak, according to reports.
The Shenzhen sites are in the midst of a new week-long lockdown, after 66 new positive cases in the region over the weekend.
Foxconn reportedly will follow advice of the local government to resume factory operations.
With the temporary closure of the firm’s two campuses in the city, Foxconn says it has “adjusted” its production line at two other unnamed sites to minimize the impact.
On Sunday, China reported 2,125 Covid-19 cases in 58 cities.
